Ok...
So Halloween wasn't so exciting. Ended up not dressing up, falling asleep until 7pm, then watched Princess Bride and ate chocolate with my roommate, her boyfriend, and the girl who lives across the hall. It was actually a pretty fun halloween, even if I didn't go to a party and get drunk like everyone else (apparently). But whatever.
I haven't started my Nano yet. I lack inspiration right now, and I have so much to do but I'm procrastinating, so none of it's getting done. I'm such a wonderful student.
Ok, I need to write three essays by next week.
Essay 1: For English class, connect and write a rhetorical analysis about the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and the book Middle Passage.
Ok, everyone, don't see 2001: Space Odyssey, it's like the weirdest movie I've ever seen. The first 30 minutes is about apes, the 2nd 30 minutes I had no idea what was going on, the next hour was about a creepy, child molesting-sounding voiced computer killing everyone in a spaceship, and the last 30 minutes were filled with weird tie-dye shots of Monument Valley and a guy's eye, with the last 5 minutes of that an old man in sitting bed in a white room with a giant slab of black rock stalking him and a glow-in-the-dark fetus floating in the air through space. The End.
The book, Middle Passage, on the other hand, is very good. It's about a (overly) educated black man in the early 1800s who joins a slaver ship to Africa to escape marriage. I liked it very muchly. ^-^
Essay 2: Read Deadly Feasts and someone how connect it to the biological study we're doing in class.
Don't read Deadly Feasts if you have a weak stomach. The first chapter is about this tribe in New Guinea that practices cannabalism, and it describes how the cut up, divide and cook each part of the human. Creepy as hell. Also, I was reading it and I have an overactive imagination... I started thinking I started having the diseases that the New Guineans had. "OMG! Sometimes I (enter symptom here), what if I have this strange fatal neurological disease??"
Essay 3: Read The Day the Leader Was Killed and write an essay about how the author reveals to us his thoughts about time or space.
Hmmm, it was ok, but the ending was kind of jacked up. These two people, Randa and Elwan want to get married, but they don't have enough money to buy a place to live. They've been engaged for 10 years, and finally they just throw in the towel and give up. Randa marries someone else, finds out he's doing something illegal, and divorces him like 4 days after they get married. Elwan is tempted to marry Randa's husband's sister, who's like 40 (old? Anyone? He's like 27!) but doesn't, instead goes to Randa's ex-husband and beats him in the chest and kills him, and goes to jail. The end. I kid you not. It won the Nobel Prize (why???).
Anyway, that was fun. ^^ I got to procrastinate even longer. ^-^
